What is «living accessory class luxe», or Why give birth to little dogs?
There is a fashion in the literal sense at all, including those for pets. But it took a time when it was fashionable to keep the house a crocodile, a shark or a fighting dog. Modern fashionistas choose aesthetic minimalism - it's time to dwarf ornamental dogs.
What is the image of a girl of high society? Perfect hair, high-quality makeup, fashionable clothes and, of course, stylish accessories, koimi now are not only brooches, bracelets and bags. The image of a modern, dignified girl is unthinkable without the little dog in his hands. Now the pet has become one that neither is on, accessory, and not only female but also male.
Many seem blasphemous Turns dog solely to create the desired image - still a living creature. But the pets to the world since ancient times there is a kind of «the division of labor»: any breed were derived specifically for hunting, some - for fighting with their own kind, but some - for decoration and, admittedly, this is not the worst «work». Decorative dog catching a wounded duck, not kept sheep, she could not tow a sled or save the drowning. But she is very fit perfectly in the luxurious interior of the house; lap dog was a symbol of its masters belonging to the higher class.
But now the notion of «lap dog» and the phrase «to keep at home» hopelessly out of date - an animal no longer locked in four walls, they keep him for himself - on his hands, the bag-carrying, and even cut shirt. With him went into the light, flaunt it, and this requires that the dog had the appropriate «fashionable» type, and it takes a lot of effort and resources.
The very purchase of a small decorative dog usually does not come cheap - from 500 to $ 5000. But this is only the beginning - a strong genetic memory of the animal, whose ancestors had once adorned the palaces are for royalty. As a luxury item, the dog itself should be surrounded by luxury and first class care. Like myself, the owners spoil their pets shopping and beauty salons. And if a dog suddenly fall into a concern of increased public attention, then help her professional dog psychologist. Incidentally, this is not just a whim of the rich and famous - the dog must not only look good, but to behave properly. In order not to disgrace myself in high society, an animal, like a child, it is necessary to educate, because all dogs of different nature, and each characteristic breed certain traits of behavior. Speaking of rocks ...
Decorative dog - a great many, but by far the most popular and trendy are the following breeds:
Chinese Crested (the Chinese Hairless Dog, Chinese hohlatka) - the name saying: the hair on this dog is present only in a tuft on his head. Of all the pet dogs is, perhaps, one of the largest - the height at withers of 30 cm, but the weight of it - no more than 5,5 kg. Like a poodle shaved heads. Very lively, active dog, energy, brims over - running, not only can break or split subject, who was caught on the road, but the injury itself, but the scratches on her hairless skin fraught with very serious consequences. Nevertheless, the singer Irina Ponarovskaya lives as much four dogs of this breed; Chinese hohlatka also lives with Alsou.
Belgium, Brussels Griffon, Small Brabant - also not a small dog (about 28 cm tall, up to 5 kg in weight), said the boxer, but with long hair and long mustache and bou-rodoy. This is a balanced and sufficiently intelligent dog, which, inter alia, catch mice. The difference between the griffins - in color: for the Belgian Griffon preferred black and black and tan, as the Brussels Griffon - mostly red color. Small Brabant can be both black and red, from Griffin it has a short coat and lack of beard. A recent winner of the Brussels griffon was Kelly Osbourne, whose family is known for his love of miniature dogs.
Russian (Moscow) Toy Terrier launched in the middle of last century in Russia, his weight at a height of 20-28 cm did not exceed 3 kg. In general, from the English Toy Terrier it differs only lengthened hair on the ears, but otherwise - is as graceful and gentle dog. Russian Toy Terrier can be both smooth and long coat. Of the more famous owner of the dogs of this breed is Sergey Lazarev.
One of the most common (and expensive) dog among the wealthy - Yorkshire terrier, and she's one of the smallest - up to 3 kg with a height of about 20 cm This is certainly a beautiful and graceful dog, very capricious, and therefore virtually impossible learning. Still, many associate such behavior with the aristocratic Yorks. Yorkshire terriers with A. Delon, J. Belmondo, M. Schumacher, J. Trump, Maya Plisetskaya, Vladimir Mashkov, N. Koroleva and others
Finally, the smallest dog in the world - Chi-hua-hua (Chihuahua) (its weight can not exceed 500 grams.) - A nice, compact, attentive, but by virtue of its size, it is too timid, so even a little stress for it can be fatal. But such troubles, apparently not intimidated by a huge number of celebrities who have chosen as a pet is a dog of this breed - among them P. Hilton, B. Spears, C. Osborne, Madonna, George Lopez, E. Brody, etc. So Chi-hua-hua can rightly be considered the most fashionable breeds of ornamental dogs.
The tiny dog - certainly a great way to attract attention and create the right impression. And yet, it is not just a beautiful attribute of a beautiful life. Even such a small dog - this is, above all, a dog - a cheerful, affectionate and surprisingly faithful. This is a true friend, reliable partner and a wonderful therapist. But we must not forget that this very small creature, who believes his master loves him wholeheartedly and completely depends on him.
